Amber Delaney was throwing a pool party on Saturday night and the news spread like a pandemic through the school. Rule only learnt of it today, just a day's breath before the event. Amber's father was a wealthy hedge fund manager who had a lot of properties and businesses scattered across Massachusetts.
The party was to celebrate their school's football team winning the first game of the season, which was tonight.
Rule had skipped school all week because of the initial tango with demons at the red market. He had almost lost his life, and the thought of it always made him boil with shame. His sister had assured him he'd be back on his feet the next day, but it had taken a couple of days for that.
